That must be why they rely on an ancient foreign language for 99% of the terminology in their practice  |

Don't look at me - I'm just relaying what I've been taught and my dictionaries say.

" Ve haf vays of making you feel inadequate"  It's always German, too, isn't it. When it's not Latin delivered with an English or Scots accent!  |

Well the reference material is usually in Latin, yeah... Ever see the Burbs? Henry Gibson and Brother Theodore... I just checked Merriam Webster online and Roentgen is pronounced with a hard "g" according to their soundbyte. |

...It's always German, too, isn't it... Actually, in my profession, it was originally in Greek, and then Latin, and today for a lot of people it's in King James' English. I'm so very thankful for people like Jerome, Tyndale, and Eugene Peterson who have helped us overcome those who would use a dead language to wield power.  |
